    Does Q500 4K have Fly Away protection?

    Does Q500 4K have Fly Away protection?

    Please jot down some of those orientation tricks from that unwritten book. That was the challenge I faced with my H480 1300’ away even under clear midday skies. Pulled it a couple hundred feet closer and the rest of the flight was fine. It may not have thought I looked overweight a quarter...

    Davinci Resolve 14

    This is genius, team_player! Since I was unfamiliar with FFMpeg’s CLI structure I was left struggling with ff-Works as a GUI front end to generate Prores output that didn’t completely solve DR’s stuttering. What you outlined hear nails it and made it well worth installing Homebrew. It also...
